KSD #39 was able to open the High School FEMA building last night for our community to seek shelter once the tornado warning was activated.
Thanks to the support from our community to build the FEMA building, we were able to welcome almost 500 people last night!
Use the QR code below to download our District's app. You'll need to adjust the setting and notification preferences as this is how we let our community know when the FEMA building is open and other important information about our District.
The FEMA building is open on the Kennett High School campus.
